Apologies for the placement of this 'bug report' but I don't have time to correctly change the wiki page here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/33092
It describes getting mercury running from EBS, but I think that you'll find the latest versions of mercury get mysql to read its data from /mnt/mysql not the usual /var/lib/mysql so the copying and mounting doesn't actually put the database in EBS.
I would research and correct the post properly, but I don't have time at the moment.
(And no, I did not learn this 'the hard way', just it didn't take very long to copy some massive DBs to EBS, turns out it didn't copy them!)

Re: Setting up EBS for Mercury [Beta]
Steven,
You are correct and the solution is for Mercury to keep the default paths for mysql and varnish and use symlinks to store the data on /mnt or EBS. The Mercury setup instructions will be updated today. The next release of Mercury (0.8-Beta) will have these changes incorporated.
Thanks!
Greg
